JANUARY 29
Forrest Nelson, long-time clerk and friendly face at Old Riverton Store, Kansas, dies at 98. It is said that he liked to talk and had found himself a perfect place to be. One of those many people who make the Mother Road as much fun as it is.
I don't remember him specifically, but am sure we must have talked with him as we never drive through that we don't make a stop there.
JANUARY 31
The Four Way restaurant in Cuba has closed.
It is in a vintage Phillips 66 station. The new place was open for five years and last year was extremely hard on them because of you-know-what.
The station was built in 1932 by Paul T. Carr.
We hadn't stopped in yet but hope someone reopens it before long.
We'll definitely stop the next time through.
